A creature that steals and moves items to their lair.
Why not a lair situated outside of the colony map on a near tile of the world map ?

Automatically reschedule surgeries that a doctor fails if the required materials are still at hand.

When your doctor sucks, having to manually reschedule peg leg installation over and over and over and over and ... is just tedium that adds nothing to the game.

I would like just to remind that each time a surgery fail, the patient is injured, so if you continue to operate without waiting, you have a higher risk to permanently injured or outright kill it.
I'm just a forum user, but in my opinion this modification would be a bad idea.

You're right, but I can just reload if I care about that. If I schedule a surgery, I always (100% of the time!) want and usually NEED the surgery to be completed.

This suggestion will destroy the game for me if made 'mandatory' because I play without savescumming

Meh. If you're that worried about getting a couple of nicks on the pawns then clearly you weren't using surgery anyway. :)

How about rescheduling the operation, but suspended. I tend to forget which limb, peg leg, etc. I wanted to operate on. Would be one simple click instead of my brain working :p

Really more interesting than the previous idea.
I don't see any disadvantage this time.
Except one, for operations using bionic or prostetic organs, if the chirurgy fails, the organ disappears so if you haven't any more organs, it's possible that you have to wait a long time before having the items needed to rescheduling the task.

Dromedaries and Mufallos can be loaded with cargo when forming a caravan. Elephants can't. All animals who are trained to haul should get caravan carrying capacity. Yes, even dogs. Imagine they're pulling a cart or a sled.

That's even more time my brain has to keep that information in its memory. </irony> I see that as an advantage!

It could lead to an other strangeness.
Imagine you schedule the installation of a bionic leg, you fail, you lose the bionic leg.
Shortly thereafter, you buy a prostetic leg, and try to reschedule the operation.
The operation would stay"install a bionic leg" and you will have no more of them so your pawn will go to a bed to wait for an operation which will never happen.

How about region/area for prisoners? Like a build prison with territory where prisoners can walk. They living only in rooms.
